Tempotest® Fabrics
Tempotest® fabrics are another premium option, woven in Italy and designed specifically for exterior performance. They offer exceptional resistance to UV rays, water, and environmental wear while maintaining vibrant color and texture. For homeowners seeking elevated outdoor design with long-term durability, Tempotest fabrics provide a strong combination of beauty and performance.
Solar Screens
In addition to retractable awnings, we install exterior solar screen systems designed to reduce glare, block heat, and increase daytime privacy. Solar screens are ideal for patios, covered decks, and large window openings where consistent sun exposure can make outdoor spaces uncomfortable. These systems can be manually operated or motorized and are engineered to withstand New Jersey weather conditions while maintaining visibility from inside looking out.
Solar screens are particularly effective on west-facing exposures and large sliding door openings where direct sun impacts interior temperature and comfort.
Pergolas and Patio Covers
For homeowners looking to create a more permanent outdoor structure, we offer pergola systems that provide architectural definition and functional shade. Pergolas can be paired with retractable canopy systems or motorized louvers to allow adjustable light control throughout the day. These systems transform patios and backyard spaces into defined outdoor living areas suitable for dining, entertaining, or relaxing.
When combined with retractable awnings or solar screens, pergolas help create layered outdoor shade solutions that enhance both comfort and property value.
